2 Samuel 9
1 David said, “Is there yet any who is left of Saul’s house, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?”
爰にダビデいひけるはサウルの家の遺存れる者尚あるや我ヨナタンの爲に其人に恩惠をほどこさんと
2 There was of Saul’s house a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” He said, “I am your servant.”
サウルの家の僕なるヂバと名くる者ありければかれをダビデの許に召きたるに王かれにいひけるは汝はヂバなるか彼いふ僕是なり
3 The king said, “Is there not yet any of Saul’s house, that I may show the kindness of God to him?” Ziba said to the king, “Jonathan still has a son, who is lame in his feet.”
王いひけるは尚サウルの家の者あるか我其人に神の恩惠をほどこさんとすヂバ王にいひけるはヨナタンの子尚あり跛足なり
4 The king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.”
王かれにいひけるは其人は何處にをるやヂバ王にいひけるはロデバルにてアンミエルの子マキルの家にをる
5 Then King David sent and brought him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.
ダビデ王人を遣はしてロデバルより即ちアンミエルの子マキルの家よりかれを携來らしむ
6 Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, fell on his face, and showed respect. David said, “Mephibosheth?” He answered, “Behold, your servant!”
サウルの子ヨナタンの子なるメピボセテ、ダビデの所に來り伏て拝せりダビデ、メピボセテよといひければ答て僕此にありと曰ふ
7 David said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your father. You will eat bread at my table continually.”
ダビデかれにいひけるは恐るるなかれ我必ず汝の父ヨナタンの爲に恩惠を汝にしめさん我汝の父サウルの地を悉く汝に復すべし又汝は恒に我席において食ふべしと
8 He bowed down, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look at such a dead dog as I am?”
かれ拝して言けるは僕何なればか汝死たる犬のごとき我を眷顧たまふ
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house I have given to your master’s son.
王サウルの僕ヂバを呼てこれにいひけるは凡てサウルとその家の物は我皆汝の主人の子にあたへたり
10 Till the land for him—you, your sons, and your servants. Bring in the harvest, that your master’s son may have bread to eat; but Mephibosheth your master’s son will always eat bread at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
汝と汝の子等と汝の僕かれのために地を耕へして汝の主人の子に食ふべき食物を取りきたるべし但し汝の主人の子メピボセテは恒に我席において食ふべしとヂバは十五人の子と二十人の僕あり
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so your servant will do.” So Mephibosheth ate at the king’s table like one of the king’s sons.
ヂバ王にいひけるは總て王わが主の僕に命じたまひしごとく僕なすべしとメピボセテは王の子の一人のごとくダビデの席にて食へり
12 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. All who lived in Ziba’s house were servants to Mephibosheth.
メピボセテに一人の若き子あり其名をミカといふヂバの家に住る者は皆メピボセテの僕なりき
13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.
メピボセテはエルサレムに住みたり其はかれ恒に王の席にて食ひたればなりかれは兩の足ともに跛たる者なり
